V1.6 added the -B option for black patches, with a default value of 4 for
grey or RGB spaces. So the total is 512 + 3, allowing for the one black patch
of the 8x8x8.

I think you'll find the patches are as per the .ti1 file, and therefore correct.
Due to the de-duplication of white, black and two sorts of grey patch values,
they
are not in a natural 8x8x8 cube order though. If you want just an 8x8x8 then
turn
the other patch values off:
targen -d2 -e0 -B0 -m8 -f0 Argyllxxx
